O penings for admis- sion in all depart- ments will be filled on a competitive basis; admission cannot be guaran- teed to all who meet the stated requirements. This section will cover the general admission requirements for matriculated and non- matriculated students and the special requirements of certain departments. Information concerning admission pro- cedures for international students is also included. General Requirements Applicants to the Graduate Division should refer to the appropriate depart- mental listing in this Bulletin for spe- cific admission requirements, including minimum hours of undergraduate preparation, submission of composi- tions and portfolios, or audition perfor- mances. All students applying for admission as Master’s matriculants must have a Bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university, or the foreign equivalent, with an undergraduate record indicating good preparation for the proposed area of graduate study. Good preparation is generally inter- preted to mean a minimum academic average of B in undergraduate work considered by the department and the Office of Graduate Studies to be rele- vant to the proposed area of study. If ten years have elapsed since completion of undergraduate work, additional undergraduate courses may be required as a condition of admission. For admission to the Graduate Divi- sion, individuals must show evidence of good character and those personal traits necessary to fulfill course and certification requirements. Interviews, letters of recommendation, and prior academic records may be determina- tive. Applicants must submit a 500-word essay explaining their objectives in pur- suing graduate study. Applicants to the School of Library and Information Studies should consult the School for additional instructions. Where appropriate, the College will require students to submit medical reports attesting to their ability to enter and complete a program. Immunization Requirements If you were born on or after January 1, 1957, New York State law requires that you be immunized against measles, mumps, and rubella before you start school. Students are required to file a QC Immunization Form at the Health Service Center (FitzGerald Gym, Room 204, 997-2760). Failure to file will jeop- ardize the student’s continuation in the graduate program. Application Requirements Students who apply for the Master of Arts, Master of Arts in Liberal Studies, Master of Arts in the Social Sciences, Master of Fine Arts, or Master of Library Science Degree, or for the Cer- tificate Program in Librarianship, must also meet the following requirements: 1. Three letters of recommendation must be submitted; at least two letters must be from instructors who are in a position to attest to the applicant’s capacity to complete successfully a pro- gram of graduate studies. 2. The applicant may be required to submit test results for the Graduate Record Examination. Students should refer to the application packet issued by the Office of Graduate Admissions or seek advice from the appropriate department Chair or Graduate Adviser. The institutional code number of Queens College is 2750. Students who apply for the Master of Science in Education Degree must also meet the following requirements: 1. Most programs require completion of an undergraduate education sequence; however, special transitional programs are available for students whose undergraduate preparation lacks this sequence. 2. The submission of letters of rec- ommendation is required for most pro- grams in Education. Applicants should refer to the application packet issued by the Office of Graduate Admissions for information regarding this require- ment. 3. Queens College Master of Science degree programs in Teacher Education and diploma programs in Teacher Edu- cation meet New York State academic and field requirements for certifica- tion.* However, in order to be eligible for a Permanent Certificate, a candi- date must be employed full-time for two years in the area in which he or she is seeking certification in addition to achieving the Master of Science degree and/or diploma. The candidate must apply directly to the New York State Education Department for permanent certification. Applicants should bear in mind that while the College recommends for New York State teacher certification those students who successfully complete an approved program in Teacher Educa- tion, the College itself does not issue teaching licenses or certificates. New York City issues teaching licenses and New York State issues teaching certifi- cates. Requirements are subject to change. It is the student’s responsibili- Admission, Retention & Graduation 16 16 *See page 55 for the M.S. in Ed. programs that do not lead to State certification. ty to determine whether the course of study will meet in full the licensing and certification requirements for New York City and New York State, and, where relevant, for states other than New York. The Queens College library con- tains relevant materials, and assis- tance is provided by Graduate Advisers and the Office of Educational Place- ment (997-5545). Students applying for Certificate and Diploma Programs: Please consult the appropriate depart- mental listing in this Bulletin for addi- tional admission requirements. Internationally Educated Students Queens College strongly affirms the benefits of an international student body on its campus and invites interna- tionally educated students to apply for admission to its graduate programs. These students must meet all admis- sion requirements for the program they wish to enter. Official transcripts should be mailed directly from the international institution to the Queens College Office of Graduate Admissions in accordance with instructions in the application packet. If the transcripts are in a language other than English, official translations must be provided. Students on temporary visas must submit with the application packet financial information confirming the funds that will be available to meet expenses for each year of enrollment. A financial information and certification form is included in the application packet mailed by the Office of Graduate Admissions. Support for students on temporary visas is provided by the International Student Services Office, Jefferson Hall 105, 997-4440. English Proficiency and the TOEFL Proof of proficiency in the English lan- guage is required of all applicants: 1. whose first language is not Eng- lish, and 2. who were educated in a country where English is not the official lan- guage. This requirement is not based upon country of citizenship or permanent residency, but on the two stated condi- tions. Applicants who meet these condi- tions must submit scores for the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). The minimum acceptable TOEFL score is 500 except for those programs noted below. Admitted stu- dents with a proficiency level below 500 should consider attending an intensive English program, such as the Queens College English Language Institute, prior to applying for admission. Appli- cations and information regarding the TOEFL may be obtained from: TOEFL Services, P. O. Box 6151, Princeton, NJ 08541-6151, USA; phone 609-771-7100. Students whose TOEFL score is in the 500-599 range will be required to take a course in English as a Second Lan- guage (GESL). The course bears no credit, but will count in determining full-time status for visa purposes.

(Some programs admit only in the Fall semes- ter.) Applicants who are admitted to matriculation in one semester and fail to register in that semester must reac- tivate their applications, which may be re-reviewed. Admission to matricula- tion in one semester does not guarantee admission in a subsequent semester. Applicants admitted for one semester who fail to register and who subse- quently are admitted and register in a later semester must fulfill the degree or certificate requirements in effect in the semester of registration. Admission Procedures The procedure for applying to matricu- late in the Graduate Division is self- managed.

Individual departments may require special admission procedures, such as interviews and the submission of writ- ten materials. Acceptance for Matriculation with Conditions A student whose undergraduate prepa- ration is less than fully adequate may be admitted to matriculation with con- ditions, which take effect in the stu- dent’s first semester of attendance. Unless otherwise indicated, these con- ditions must be removed within one year, or before proceeding beyond 12 credits of graduate work, whichever comes sooner. Under certain circum- stances, students with an undergradu- ate average marginally below B may be matriculated with the condition of “Pro- bation.” A student admitted on proba- tion must achieve a B (3.0) average in the first 12 credits of graduate work. Students admitted on probation who fail to attain fully matriculated status after completing 12 graduate credits will not be permitted to continue. Non-Matriculated Status A special application is required for ad- mission as a non-matriculated student.
